[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 437495, member: 21536"] Not sure it is an advantage so to speak, but my owner's manual prefers that boat be trailered with the motor down. If that isn't possible due to clearance issues, then Mercury recommends use of a transom saver. The concern is that the power tilt, including the lock lever, is not designed to support the motor while trailering. Having read this in the owner's manual, I suppose I'm more concerned about damage to the power tilt than to the transom. As it is, to get needed clearance I have to use the transom saver. [/QUOTE]
